[AI-powered review summaries](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/retail/amazon-ai-generated-review-highlights) and detailed product information help customers choose with confidence. Size recommendation technology means more than 90% of customers who buy the recommended size are satisfied with their purchase. Amazon also flags products with high return rates, alerting shoppers to check descriptions and reviews before buying.\n\nWhen returns do happen, the priority is to keep products in use. Amazon inspects all customer returns, testing, cleaning and repairing them where necessary. Items in perfect condition go back on sale as new. The rest are sold at a discount, with larger savings on ‘used’ condition versus ‘like new’. \n\n![An Amazon fulfillment center worker inspecting a returned appliance](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/7cdf571/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1600x901+0+0/resize/767x432!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2Ff8%2F2d%2F1ed55d3b4f3bbd6ad048ae55e3ac%2Famazon-music-inline-1600x900-31.jpg)\n\n![An Amazon fulfillment center worker inspecting a returned drone](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/575ee6d/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1600x901+0+0/resize/767x432!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F00%2F5f%2F00bd2e9a4109997d14c1f3a9919d%2Famazon-music-inline-1600x900-32.jpg)\n\n![An Amazon fulifillment center employee holding up and inspecting a returned sweater](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/113c839/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1600x900+0+0/resize/767x431!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2Fba%2F69%2Ffb9351b34f94bd0cdee5ac1578a2%2Famazon-music-inline-1600x900-30.jpg)\n\nAmazon donates products that are not suitable for resale but are still in good, usable condition to charity partners, giving them a second life with families and communities who need them. In 2025, we donated or supported our sellers to donate 216 million items worldwide.\n\n“Our latest investment of more than $4 billion in our returns operations across Europe is giving more returned products a second chance,” saidRory Feldman, European director of returns and recommerce at Amazon. \n\n“Last year, customers saved €380 million shopping second-hand on Amazon, and demand keeps growing with second-hand sales across Europe exceeding €2 billion.
